Cartoons: Groundhog Day, more winter or no?

Sunday is Groundhog Day, a venerable American tradition.  The Patriot-News has published a "Groundhog Day 2014 Guide" with interesting info about the groundhog seer, Punxsutawney Phil, and the town where he resides.  In a nutshell, if it's cloudy when a Phil emerges from his burrow, spring will come early, otherwise winter continues for six more weeks.  No shadow, then spring. No comment on how accurate he's been.

Here are some cartoons celebrating the little guy and his day (hopefully not sunny).
